In the 1890s, the footpath to the right was the line of a cable-hauled railway which served the West Wylam Colliery. The bridleway which is just to the left Image and runs parallel to the former railway was a lane which provided access to the colliery, mainly situated behind the photographer. The road on the right is a more recent development providing a connection between West Wylam and the A695 Princess Way.
